Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment! It's so true that we are guilty until proven innocent, and we've even been trained to wonder to ourselves what did the parents do? when someone's children get taken away. There is so much ignorance and even approval when it comes to CPS and other agencies, and there's so much propaganda out there about how wonderful they are...

I class myself as a great Dad and my partner is an exceptional Mother but I wonder how long that perception would hold up with our friends and neighbours once the visits began?

It pretty much happens overnight. Some of my neighbors are already giving me the evil eye, and I'm getting less likes on Facebook. Granted some people I've recently blocked for their involvement in setting me up, or their association with the people responsible for this...I belive it was my mom, but my stepdad said it was my grandparents - who haven't seen me in years and live 1000 miles away... and then they were still liking my posts as if nothing was wrong...

I hate the way people network too. Everyone knows everyone else's business, even complete strangers, it's aggravating how people gossip. I dated someone whose best friend is a social worker - this was a couple years ago when my husband and I were separated, and I know first hand from what she told him that there is no confidentiality when CPS is involved, they can talk about us to anyone they want. This same social worker is now the one investigating us, which I think is a conflict of interest, but I'm afraid if I speak up and say something, they will appoint someone worse...

I hope initiatives like @familyprotection have resources that can help this process along for you.

@familyprotection has been immensely supportive, and they have even gave me a donation that enabled me to join the HSLDA. I don't know what I would do without them and the other amazing people here on Steemit!

Thanks again @stevenwood! Much love. :)
